I just bought a new AC compressor for my 1994 musgant cobra 5.0. I wanted to know if someone out there is kind enough to guide me step by step as to what do I have to do to install it, if not, if you know of any shop that might install it in the area of Winter Haven, Florida, & Kissimmee, FL. Thank you.
FIRST it depends on the REASON you'replacing it..
If the compressor failed, the system needs to be flushed and Accumulator replaced (not a bad idea, in any case) as well as replacing the orifice.
My brother had the misfortune of having his A/C fail while on vacation in fla and the shop claimed "the condenser had plugged up"... which is unmitigated Bullshit, The orifice will plug LONG before the condenser does... but there's nowhere near the markup on that.
Too bad there's no "Angies List" in your area... might check with your local newspaper to see if there's an equivalent.. many papers have yearly consumer rating features.
Take BM's advice first...then....
